Bismuth,

I think you can answer this question on wether to sell or not yourself.  You share your photos online.  Do you have any serious inquiries about them?  This is how most artists get started selling.  With landscape and nature and/or fine art photography, it’s different.  It all starts with sharing and receiving interest, even without a price tag attached, people know what they want, and will outright ask the artist how much they would have to spend to copy one of your photographs finished for their home.  No inquiries?  Then you still have some work ahead of you.  If you are receiving inquiries and orders regularly, then it’s time to start working more on your marketing.  Until then, let that idea take a back seat while you learn and experiment. Do you have a printer/finisher that you like to use?  If not, get to shopping and find a printer that suits you.  Printing and finishing is also a wonderful learning process in of itself.  Maybe start a physical portfolio for yourself.  By regularly finishing your photographs it can change completely how you shoot and think of things and view them through your camera.  Don’t leave the job half done by only making digital files.
